Business Wire: Franchise Capital Corp. Enters LOI to Acquire a 20% Interest in Lucky Lou's

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Franchise Capital Corp. (OTCBB: FCCN) is very pleased to announce today that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire a 20% interest in Lucky Lou's restaurants. As per the terms of the LOI, Franchise Capital will acquire the 20% interest through a share exchange agreement with the partners of Lucky Lou's. Franchise Capital has already begun its due diligence process and anticipates closing the transaction shortly.

Lucky Lou's is a casual restaurant concept that sports a Las Vegas-style decor with polished concrete floors, dark wood, an open bar, plenty of televisions for viewing sporting events, a comfortable sound system for music, and a beautiful roulette wheel behind the bar that provides a bustling atmosphere for all to enjoy. In addition, an open kitchen along the back end of the bar allows the customers to see the quality and care that goes into preparing each and every meal. Their quality menu consists of hand-cut steaks, homemade soups, fresh sandwiches, burgers, and onion rings, cut and battered fresh daily.

Lucky Lou's first location, in east Mesa, Ariz., boasted $1 million in gross revenues in its first year and currently, in their second year, they are on track to book revenues well ahead of their first year of business. Lucky Lou's is currently slated to open two additional locations in the next year with plans to expand outside of Arizona including Las Vegas.

Franchise Capital President and CEO Edward C. Heisler was quoted as saying, "I love this restaurant! The food is great, the staff is very professional, the Vegas atmosphere is very cool and fun, and best of all ... it makes money! Businesses that make money are always a welcome addition to our investment portfolio."
